every now & then i talk about my photography biz. it all started with my passion to take pictures of everything in my life. when i got good at that, it became about taking pictures for other people. when that got busy, the pictures of my own life started to slide. and now? i miss that. i miss the pictures of my everyday life & taking my camera outside my home & capturing what we do.

so today i put an end to it! it was a gorgeous day, we took the boys out & i brought along the ol' camera. after some errands we wound up at a park where elliot got to experience a swingset for the first time & some of my favorite pictures ever came as a result {well, they might be on the same level as this one... parker's first time on a swing. i love my boys}.

oh this makes me so happy. happy pictures make me so happy! my camera will be taking many many more trips with us out as a family in the near future. i need the practice with my camera, i need the artistic outlet & i need more pictures like these of my growing babies.

These are awesome pictures, Amy! Just love the look of pure joy on Elliot's face. We were at the same park around lunch time and I wish I brought my camera to capture Cami's delight as she dumped handfuls of wood chips on her own head (hence the bath when you called). These simple, joyful moments are so fleeting...

ah i love these :) it's hard to convince urself to drag the camera places - I do my best to remember and not get lazy about it but that doesnt always work. plus i think there's a fine balance in life between living it and photographing it
